Your reduce_list is named similarly to reduce, but bears no resemblance since it doesn't to reduce at all.
-
reduce allows an arbitrary state to be passed from one pass to another. Your reduce_list doesn't.
-
reduce can return any value, not just the input. reduce_list can return at most one scalar, and it can only be the input. (That's not very "listy"!)
Because of those reasons, reduce is a general purpose function. (It can implement any other function in List::Util.) Your reduce_list is just grep with access to the last element.
This accounts for the differences with what I suggested it should look like.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
